For sixteen years, Ivy and Rio were inseparable.

Neighbours. Treehouses. Basketball games till sunset.

Rio was woven into every part of Ivy’s life. Until suddenly, he wasn’t.

When Rio’s parents divorce, he moves three hours away and starts over at Meadowclark College, a competitive sports academy. For the first time in their lives, Ivy and Rio are forced apart, relying on handwritten letters to hold onto the friendship that once felt effortless.

While Rio struggles to find his place on the basketball team and gets swept into a new world of parties, pressure, and a girl named Amber, Ivy is left alone to survive disastrous netball practices, navigate new friendships, and explore things with the boy next door.

With every letter, the space between them grows harder to ignore.

Because sometimes growing up means realising that no matter how much history two people share, it still might not be enough to keep them together.

Tender, nostalgic, and full of slow-burn longing, Somewhere Between Hi and Yours Truly is a coming-of-age story about first love, distance, jealousy, and the heartbreak of growing apart.

An epistolary novel told only through letters. Dual POV.
